Registering SUSE Liberty Linux Clients
This section contains information about registering clients running SUSE Liberty Linux operating systems. SUSE Liberty Linux clients are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS.
|
SUSE Liberty Linux clients are sometimes also called SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with Expanded Support (SLESES), Liberty, RES or Red Hat Expanded Support. |
The SUSE Liberty Linux software channels provided by SUSE only provide updates to packages, they do not provide the packages themselves. To register SUSE Liberty Linux clients, you need to register the SUSE Liberty Linux Product (outlined below) to create the necessary base channel, then import any required Red Hat or CentOS packages as custom child channels. You must obtain the initial packages directly from Red Hat or CentOS before you can apply the updates provided by the SUSE Liberty Linux software channels.
|
You are responsible for arranging access to Red Hat or CentOS base media repositories and installation media. |

SUSE does not provide support for SUSE Liberty Linux systems on Uyuni. |
1. Add Software Channels
For SUSE Liberty Linux clients, some required packages are contained on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS installation media. You must have these packages installed before you can register a SUSE Liberty Linux client.
The SUSE Liberty Linux product is provided by SUSE Customer Center. This also includes the client tools package.
Before you register SUSE Liberty Linux clients to your Uyuni Server, you need to add the required software channels, and synchronize them.
You need to select two different sets of channels, one for SUSE Liberty Linux and the other for the Client Tools.
You need an activation key associated with the correct SUSE Liberty Linux channels. For more information about activation keys, see Activation Keys.
